Aromatic Lamb

0 July 30th, 2008

Servings: 8 Servings
Category: Lamb | Main dish
Ingredients

  • 1 Leg of lamb (about 4 lbs)
  • 3 lb Potatoes (about 5 oz each)
  • 1 Lemon (may be doubled)
  • Honey
  • Olive oil
  • Butter
  • Rosemary, thyme & oregano

Directions
Put the leg of lamb into a large roasting pan. Bruise the leaves of 2 or 3 sprigs of rosemary and sprinkle them over the meat. Add plenty of pepper and 1 tablespoon honey. Rub the mixture into the meat with your hands. Then rub half a lemon over the joint, squeezing the juice on to the meat as you do so. Do not add any salt. Leave to marinate for 4 to 24 hours. Peel and quarter the potatoes, then arrange them in a single layer round the lamb. Squeeze lemon juice over the potatoes — use at least half a lemon, or up to one and a half lemons for a strong citrus flavour. Carefully pour 1/4 pint water into a corner of the roasting pan, then sprinkle over the potatoes and lamb about 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, at least 1 teaspoon each fresh chopped thyme and oregano, and some salt and pepper. Drizzle on 1-1/2 teaspoons honey and 1 tablespoon olive oil, then dot with 1 oz butter. Bake at 425 F (220 C) gas mark 6 for a further 1 to 1-1/4 hours. The ingredients will become gilded and will burnish to a rich brown in places. Lift the meat and turn the potatoes occasionally, and if necessary, add a little boiling water to the pan to prevent drying out.

Another Gyros

0 July 30th, 2008

Servings: 6 Servings
Category: Lamb | Greek
Ingredients

  • 2 lb Lean ground lamb
  • 2 sl Homemade bread, toasted and
  • -crumbled
  • 1 ts Allspice, crushed
  • 1 ts Coriander seed, crushed
  • 1 Clove garlic, pressed
  • 1 Onion, grated
  • 1 ts Fresh savory, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to
  • -taste
  • Bacon slices (optional)

Directions
In large bowl, combined all ingredients. Mix well, kneading until mixture is stiff. Make fingers of meat (about 5-inches longer and not over 2-inches in diameter). Place fingers on skewer spacing about 1-inch apart. Cook over hot coals for 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently until cooked through. You may wrap the “fingers” on the skewer with sliced bacon. If anyone tries this, let me know how it works out. NOTE: I have this frequently in Greece and here in the U.S., but as I have said, I view it as a “deli” item. Krinos Foods has a “gyros kit” that is sold in the frozen food section of some supermarkets. Recipe: C.
